Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Erik Wikström]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: version 1.0+ (20050712)

If I use "N" to go to the next unread message and the next unread message is
located in another folder than the currently selected folder the message will be
displayed and selected in the list of messages correctly. But the list of
messages only show those at the top/bottom even if the message is in the middle
of the list. Using the Up or Down-keys to go the a nearby message correctly
makes the list show the selected message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to a mailinglist/newsgroup
2. Set the list-style to threaded
3. Make all messages marked as read
4. Wait for a message that belongs to a thread not visible in the message-list
5. When in some other folder, use "N" to go to the new message
Actual Results:  
The new message (which is now selected) is not displayed in the message-list.

Expected Results:  
The selected message should be selected.

Reproduced with TB 1.0+0715, Win2K.
Behavior is a regression from TB 1.0.5.

Working in 1.0.7.

> Working in 1.0.7.

Since the bug was reported against a 1.0+ build, the fact that it's working in 1.0.7 is not a valid reason to mark the bug as fixed.  1.5rc1 would be the minimum build to test this with.

Furthermore, since you haven't identified a patch that actually fixed the problem, "Fixed" is the wrong resolution.

However, I cannot reproduce the symptom any longer, with 1.5rc1 nor with 
1.6a1-1201, so: setting resolution to WorksForMe.

This still happens in 1.5rc1 (20051025), but I can't reproduce it on demand.
Even setting the items back to the same state they were when it "broke" works as it should.

After upgrading to 20060308 (1.5.0.2) this is still in issue.
I must point out that this is NOT reproducable on demand.

OK, reopening.  If you find a reproducible test case, please post.

Dean, Erik, with the fixing of bug 365016 in thunderbird 2, this should be retested and marked fixed if problem is gone

No additional useful information for >10 months since last comment - due to comment #3, resolving WFM.

It is still a problem in 2.0.0.12 and I hit it almost every day using the steps in the original report.
It only seems to happen on NNTP account folders, and I can't reproduce it on demand.
I'll see if I can post a video/demonstration at some point.

Further to that, the post IS listed in the thread pane, but is NOT scrolled into view (This point wasn't clear from the original report).
